Floresville police make 'meth' bust

FLORESVILLE -- Two area residents are in custody and a third has been cited in relation to an Aug. 26 methamphetamine bust in the Alamo Apartments off U.S. 181 Business here.

A man and woman present at the residence when the search warrant was issued were arrested and each was charged with possession of 1 to 4 grams of a controlled substance in Penalty Group I. One of the apartment's occupants, identified by police as Jennifer Murillo, was issued a citation for possession of drug paraphernalia. Information about the other suspects was incomplete as of 10 p.m.

Lt. Jesse Evins of the Floresville Police Department said anonymous tipsters reported that crystallized methamphetamine, often referred to as "meth" or "ice," was being sold from the apart-ment. A search warrant was subsequently issued.

Your Opinions and Comments

What is right: As seen on this website, in video and print, whenever one of your townspeople speak up the mayor tells them "Sit down." This is especially true if you're not of the same bloodline or skin tone.

OK OK OK...haven't you do nothings had enough! If all you ever do is blog and not get involved nothing changes. How many of you have helped someone find a better paying job so that they may have a chance to break the cycle... More ›

OK OK OK...haven't you do nothings had enough! If all you ever do is blog and not get involved nothing changes. How many of you have helped someone find a better paying job so that they may have a chance to break the cycle of needing the programs? How many of you go to the city council meetings or start a petition to help make sure the funding for our police department is never anything but growing? You all speak but last fall when I ask for help starting a petition to stop the city council not one of you responded!!!!!
I for one cannot imagine a city without law enforcement...can we say "Escape from Floresville" as I can only imagine what this place would be like then. If you think law enforcement isn't doing the job you best think again.
Rise up citizens!!!!!
Help take charge of our future. It is never tooooo late to remind our mayor, city manager, and city council that we our the voices they should hear and abide by. Next election get out and vote! For the here and now, get out to every council meeting and make yourself heard. Take the voice of expression that you sound off on here with and make the masses wishes known or shut up and put up.
I CHALLENGE YOU TO ATTEND ALL CITY MEETINGS AND HELP FLORESVILLE BE THE PLACE ANYONE WOULD BE PROUD TO CALL HOME.
And last but not least when something happens at your home or place of business call the Mayor or city council and see how fast they can catch the culprit.

Our social programs, paid for by the working taxpayers, are run by bureaucrats who are more interested in growing their departments than properly administering the programs they represent. Every one of these departments need a good house cleaning, top to bottom.

We did call it in. Gave description of the car, license plate and people and were told by a FPD officer there was nothing they could do because they did not see it first hand. The FBI and TX Rangers are not going to come down... More ›

We did call it in. Gave description of the car, license plate and people and were told by a FPD officer there was nothing they could do because they did not see it first hand. The FBI and TX Rangers are not going to come down here and look into this. They have bigger fish to fry. That is why we have a local PD.
"Zero tolerance on drugs in Floresville" that is funny Chief. This department knows where the drugs are in this town, everybody does. But it is all about who you know and what you can provide to certain people that will get you off of anything.
Flores Villian is right. This City has done nothing to combat the drug problem. We would rather spend money in other places to help them combat the problem then our own city. The "Taking back the community event" will be another joke, if the officers are not serious about it, then why should the citizens?

Small town I'm disabled and count on food stamps to eat and social security to pay my rent and utilities. Sorry to be a burden on you but I paid into the system for years. Don't judge people because they need help.

A Worried Grandma; just watch the news and read the newspapers, most of the time it is true that people on public assistance are no good. The people caught should get thrown out of the Alamo Apts, they broke the rules by selling drugs. Come on you women, don't you have any self esteem? Obviously not! Make a better life for yourselves, but you just can't. Shame on you!

High five to Concerned3! If you cut the welfare, these moochers will have to work for food and perks like the rest of us and maybe we won't see them on the 10 o'clock news when the rest of society is sleeping to get ready... More ›

Members of the La Familia cartel running meth distribution were busted last month in New Braunfels, San Antonio, and Austin. Wonder which cartel is controlling the meth and other narco operations in Wilson County.

Such is the reality of many rual towns. Yet those of you who find it convenient to blame a particular social class should be ashamed. What does welfare have to do with anything! Yes, the drug problem in Floresville has become a social issue, but one that affects ALL social classes. What are local political/law officals doing to combat the problem (drug education/rehab services etc..)? If ignored, Floresville will become another statistic overtaken by meth.

These people will be right back. Hardly no jail time likely. They and their families are generational welfare, foodstamp, AFDC, medicaid, public housing, medicare and social security disability recipients. They feel they are entitled to it. Also they are famous for making false reports to child protective services on anyone who pisses them off, and believe it or not cps takes them serious. One of them made a false report of child molestation and but a man in prison for 60 years due to their lies. People like this need to be stopped. They have no fear of anything, they don't plan for their future because they won't work or live a decent life, and don't want to.

Country Chick I hope that you don't someday need those "freebies" that you're talking about. And how would taking them away help? Then they do more robbing to pay for food for their kids. Why do people think if... More ›

Country Chick I hope that you don't someday need those "freebies" that you're talking about. And how would taking them away help? Then they do more robbing to pay for food for their kids. Why do people think if you are on public assistance you are no good?

Something else to say 2: Your allegations are pretty serious. If this is indeed happening, why haven't you tried to report it -- if not to local authorities, then to the Texas Rangers or the FBI? How is it that you have these details? Do you have firsthand knowledge of these actions that you allege?

Way to go Lt. Evins! It makes me feel a little safer knowing that at least one law enforcement agency has a qualified person that has what it takes to go after the people dealing drugs in our community! Keep up the good work!

Good point, STG. How many of the folks that we see on the news that have broken into homes, stolen cars, robbed convenience stores, stabbed their drug buddies, got busted with drugs, etc., are on welfare, WIC, and food stamps.... More ›

Good point, STG. How many of the folks that we see on the news that have broken into homes, stolen cars, robbed convenience stores, stabbed their drug buddies, got busted with drugs, etc., are on welfare, WIC, and food stamps. Oh! We can't get a report that shows that info. That's invading these thugs rights. Just ask a cop, I know that I would get a thumbs up. Take away the freebies and these crimes will go down.

Great job! Unfortunately more arrests are not made because so many family members are supported by the drug dealer's money. They are paid to be silenced, that way they have food on the table and they don't have to work.... More ›

Great job! Unfortunately more arrests are not made because so many family members are supported by the drug dealer's money. They are paid to be silenced, that way they have food on the table and they don't have to work. That's another cycle that needs to be broken along with welfare, WIC, food stamps, etc.
